The Young double slit light experiment got me hooked on physics and taught me not to completely dismiss things in life that seemed unintuitive.

There isn’t a word that accurately describes how cool this video is.
@FernandoWittmann
This video is truly a gift. I wasn't expecting to watch until the end but got so hooked that didn't want it to finish even after one hour. I learned so much in concepts that I never thought would be able to grasp and were made so comprehensive. Appreciate the effort in doing it!

Re-watching reference: Warning 0:00 Preface - 1:04 Double Slit Experiment - 3:22 Photoelectric Effect - 5:26 Hey, I can still see the letters :) - 12:51 Interlude - 17:36 Light Speed is not Constant 18:30 Three-Polarizer Paradox - 11:22 Hau Light Speed Experiments - 22:17 NEC Light Speed Experiment - 22:53 Break Time - 33:00 Time Slits Experiment - 26:03 (someone should transcribe the results of this experiment into the visible light range so we can see how the frequency is affected before our eyes) Bell Experiment - 38:26 Delayed Choice Test - 46:14 Btw light might just be the result of EM waves interfering with itself as well as the waves involved with the observance of it, and at these heightened moments of energy the overlapping is perceived by us as light being a particle. Or perhaps it's analogous to a reflection, like when the sun catches you off a car's windshield Is this a reupload? :)
@ChrisToe_Fur
I woke up at 2am to use the bathroom and go back to sleep. randomly decided to watch a few YT shorts and now here I am, wide awake and fully intrigued in your video. This is the kind of rabbit holes I don’t mind jumping down. 😂😂
@remoborsella5194
This is by far one of the best video I have watched in relationship to quantum mechanics and quantum phenomenon. Your explanation is absolutely clear, the images and videos you chose are extremely well adapted to the topic, and I am looking forward to watch more of your videos.

I did a small study on light for my reef aquarium and the symbiotic zooxanthellae algae many corals need to feed on. Coral bleaching is not caused by too warm water, it is caused by lack of light that starves the algae and it doesn't take much light blocking pollution to do it. But the wavelengths of light that was needed for corals tended more towards the blue range as blue light has the most energy. This was before the availability of full spectrum LEDs and we used a blue actinic fluorescent bulb. You look at colors underwater and the first light to go is red as it has the least energy. Have you ever seen water off a boat that looked green, but when you put your hand in the water it was clear? That can tell you the depth of the water you're in is about 30 feet and the light reflected back to you is green as well. 60 feet is about as deep as green goes, then it's all blue and purple is the last color you see. You see the same effect looking at the side of a thick pane of glass. All this about light and yet there are no green stars, but their light is a result of temperature. All those bleached out corals have recovered by the way and are doing fine.

@PaulsPubAndBrew
I almost didn't watch it because i foolishly didn't think I'd learn something and didn't want to spend almost an hour to find out. I had not heard of 2 of these experiments, but more important than that, the ones i have heard of were explained here better than I've seen before and i felt i learned something from all of them. Incredibly well presented! Bravo
@luckyknot
Marvelous, well paced explanations about the doings of light thanks for pulling it out!
@NefariousTV
Dude I swear to God, it is 3:37am at the time of writing this, and I just picked up a burrito from a place I go every now and again. I was just about to take a bite of it at the 33:54 mark of the video and I legit stopped and put it down. I'm not eating it. That literally exploded my already exploded brain. That was the most synchroninistic thing I've ever experienced in my life... 😂😂😂😂
@trakaiszeks
One of my key takeaways is - To test / to detect means to interfere. You cannot look at a light without blocking it. You cannot observe anything by any method without affecting the result. Also particles in space do get affected by the space itself. Particles we fail to detect as of yet are still traveling through our detectable particles and affecting them, potentially causing the entanglement. We're still breaking down particles into their consituents and are hitting serious limits with testing equipment, as to detect increasingly smaller and weaker energy emited by those particles becomes near impossible. I heard that the light appearing to travel back in time was caused by error in testing environment/methodology.
@kilianjames1116
Incredibly made video, you have explained in simple terms concepts I never thought I could understand. That lightning explanation is such a beautiful analogy for the time slit experiment!

38:20 Correction a tree falling in the woods makes vibrations . If an animal ear is influenced by the vibration, it becomes sound, for the animal.
@Dorf274
I like how light and sound is telling me about how light and sound can work and it doesn't even know the full answer itself.
@dazzassti
After doing physics many years ago at school and always had an interest in this stuff I’d recently started to wonder just how long is a photon. I found a great video by HuygensOptics puzzling the same question, he did a fantastic vid about this explaining about the dual slit and duality. Basically the photon is actually huge, it is definitely not a point like particle, it’s a wave that occupies a large area as it propagates through space, I.e. the electromagnetic wave is oscillating in two directions, if this is interrupted it then collapses to a point. This explains why a single photon can pass through both slits and interfere with itself. Watch his video it cleared up a lot for me, but as we all know light is insanely nonsensical
@anthonywood7420
I've got to watch this a few times, and sleep on it before I've got a chance of getting to grips with the problem. A great post, mind blowing.
@simonreeves2017
Hi Alex, greetings from Oxford. I’m 58, I am fascinated by physics. The duality of particles is mind boggling. Anyone who says they understand quantum physics/mechanics is lying, either they have a superficial understanding, or none at all! Great minds have pondered this perplexing behaviour for decades. Then there is superposition and entanglement. What we do know is that the mechanisms that run our universe are currently incomprehensible to the human mind.
